What to expect in Niterói in August

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

August is the heart of winter in Niterói. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 26 °C (79 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. Crowds are light, which tends to work in favor of travelers: shorter lines, more peace and quiet, and cheaper lodging. Rain, when it comes, is usually brief and does not spoil the day. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting FLIN (International Literary Fair) into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
